Comment
The 1740 and 1750 types have a cartouche on the the obverse and slightly different arms on the reverse (1740 also different from 1750)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs coin from the City of Münster (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.7g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. During his reign, Prussia became a major military power and expanded its territories, which led to an increase in trade and commerce. The coin's design, which features the coat of arms of the City of Münster, symbolizes the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
